We construct globally regular gravitating Skyrmions, which possess only discrete symmetries. In particular, we present tetrahedral and cubic Skyrmions. The SU(2) Skyrme field is parametrized by an improved harmonic map ansatz. Consistency then requires also a restricted ansatz for the metric. The numerical solutions obtained within this approximation are compared to those obtained in dilaton gravity.
